Of course, as Papadopoulos stated, you’ll probably never actually be able to play a version ofSkyrimthat does look this good, because this probably wasn’t rendered in real-time. Your PC’s fans would probably sound like a jet engine taking off if you tried to do so.
Time will tell if the next Elder Scrolls looks anything as good as what Torres has on display here, but uhh… yeah don’t count on it. For all intents and purposes, this is just a very pretty pipe dream.
